IMPROVEMENT IN BEVERAGE-HOLDERS FOR TABLE USE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 203,190 dated April 30, 1878; application filed March 12, 1878,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM PARKIN, of Taunton, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Beverage-Holder for Table Use; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same.

The object of my invention is to provide for use, by families, or in hotels, restaurants, etc, an improved substitute for water-pitchers, urns, or other holders for ice-tea, coffee, and other beverages.

The invention consists of a receptacle constructed of metal, or any other Suitable material, and having, preferably, a cylindrical shape, and provided with a pump attachment.

I will proceed to describe the details of the construction, arrangement, and operation of parts, reference beingv had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure l is a perspective view of the recep tacle or beverage-holder. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the lining or liquid-holder proper and the pump attached thereto, with the shell Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the valve and piston detached from the pump-barrel.

As represented in the drawings, the beverage receptacle consists, generally stated, of the outer cylindrical body or shell A, the cylindrical liquid-holder proper, B, and the pump G, attached vertically to one side of the latter, and having a certain construction and arrangement of valve and piston, as hereinafter described.

The lining or liquid -holder proper, B, is constructed With a horizontal -top flange, a, by which it is Supported upon the upper edge or rim of the shell A. It is likewise attached to the latter by screws passing through said flange a, so that the two parts A B form, for practical purposes, one, but may be detached or separated, when required, for the purpose of cleaning their contiguous inner surfaces. The lining B is made sufficiently smaller than the shell A to leave a dead-air space between them, for the purpose of preventing, So far as practicable, the absorption or radiation of heat by the contents of the holder B.

ball-valve, and the lower pump-valve h, which is of similar construction, is confined in a suitable cage, i, having a screw connection with the lower end of the pump-cylinder.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the shell A is constructed with a vertical Swell or tubular enlargement, K, to receive the pump-cylinder when the two parts A B are placed together, as shown in Fig. 1, to form the complete beverage holder or receptacle.

In practice, the holder B, having been filled with water and ice, or with coffee or other beverage, and the cover m being replaced, the receptacle is ready for use.

When the piston is reciprocated the liquid will be discharged in a continuous stream.

The holder B may be dispensed with, and in such case the pump tube or cylinder will be attached to or formed solid with the shell A, or else rigidly connected with the edge of the cover m.

The tube may also be attached to or formed on the inside of the lining B, in place of the outside, and in such case the swell K on the Shell A would be dispensed with.

What I claim is 1. As an article of manufacture, the beverage-holder formed of the Shell or cylinder A, the pump-cylinder 12, extended above the shell, and the piston, piston-rod, and valve, all as shown and described.

2. In combination with the shell A, the holder or lining B, the pump-cylinder attached to or formed solid with the latter, and the piston and valve, all as shown and described.
